charming manner, better in fact than any
OF her predecessors. Her acting Is as cute
as it can be, while her singing was excel

"Cold Shorts" Opinion.

In the current issue of the Age OF Steel,
Gold Short" says:
THE Wheeling nail men have to a
large extent that city's commercial and
manufacturing fame, prestige and pride at
their mercy it is true that manufscturers
of glass and pottery ware are also assuming
quite a large aud important share of that
valuable burden, but the nail men will be
held responsible, for they, with several
distinguished exceptions, have held her
down to the nail rut--their progress and
enterprise ran altogether to nails and him
dered diversity. Meantime Pittsburg with
No greater advantages either in quantity or
quality, has been moving rapidly ahead.
The Philadelphia Record pays Pittsburg q
handsome but deserved compliment when
it SAYS: mo region of the earth possesses
in equal degree with Pittsburg and its
vicinity the facilities for manufacturing.
These facilities, coupled with the enter
prise of its business men and the skill OF
its workers, have made Pittsburg one Of
the greatest centres of manufacturing in
dustry in the world. To other advantages
have been added the wonderful stores OF
nrtural gas, which supply q fael that far
sutpasses all GtLe.s IA snsspneSs and con-
yenience for use."
When will something Of similar import
be said of Wheeling? When her people
develop her advantages, assist in building
railroads and constructing means for their
entrance into the city. and invest their
capital in home improvements. Wheeling
needs no booms such has have been organ
lied in the South and West, but true and
wholesome progress based on facts
can be initiated and maintained if the
Wheeling capitalists will 6eeome as
Jealous, industrious and enterprising in
devising, advocating and supporting meas
ures for developing the advantages and re-
sources of their own city and State as they
have been, and ! fear still are, in investing
money in other States and localities This
policy would in the long run bring more
prosperity to both themselves and their
city, besides securing them a more honor
able need of consideration.

the Code, which says:
The Board of Health OF any city, town
or village shall have the same powers and
perform the same duties herein conferred
upon and required of the local Board of
Health in theiF comfy"
Mr.. Caldwell did not think there could
be any question as to the construction OF
this law.
DR.. Myers was not convinced. He said
he was not at all convinced of the stand
taken by Mr.. Caldwell, and said he should
90 on and enforce the law as it had been
explained by the author Of the bill, and if
any one was dissatisfied they cauld test
the matter in the courts. He illustrated
his point by referring to the trouble which
might arise through an outbreak OF conta-
gious diseases. Quarantine regulations
would then be required, and that duty
must deyolve upon the county Board Of
Health. If occasion should ever arise, he
would quarantine the city, let the conse-
quences be what they may. Another
point was the provisions Of law in relation
to diseases among domestic animals. The
statute gives this matter into the charge
Of the County Board of Health. There
could be no such report to the City Health
Board, for the city had no ordinance upon
the subject. This alone would necessitate
the County Board extending its jurisdiction
made the city, if there was no other rea-
son. Still another provision Of the State law
required every physician withia the county
to report all cases of contagious diseases to
the County Board. In conclusion DR..
Myers said he was convinced there wa a

JIM CROW CARS.
The Heard Case Before the Interstate
Commission.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-In the case of w.
H. Heard (colored), who complained to the
Interstate Commerce Commission against
the Georgia Railroad Company that he was
refused flrst-class accommodations and com
PEELED to ride in a Jim crow" car, the re-
spondent demurs to the complainants petit
tion upon various grounds, questions the ju
risdiction of the court, and then without
waving either demurrer or plea proceeds
to answer the complaint The respondent
says: 'The petitioner claims that he was
not permitted to ride in first-class coach of
the said Georgia railroad, but was com
PEELED to ride in what is known as the jim
crow carr
REPLY OF THE RAILROAD.
The respondent replies that it has in no
way given or authorized such designation
of any car on its road; and, If, when the
complainant says that the car ON which he
rode is known as the Jim Crow Car, he
means to say that the respondent is i'll amy
way responsible for this designation and inn
piled contempt for its inmates, the respond
ent denies such allegation. At Augusta,
the end of the respondents main line, there
is an accommodation train running out of
Augusta twenty-five miles, and spoken Of
popularity as the "Picayune."
THE FAMOUS GooBER.
At Atlanta a similar train is known to its
patrons and dwellers along the line as 1.-THE
goober." But these designations or nick
names are merely etfusions of popular
pleasantly beyond the control of the re-
spondent, and considered by the respondent
up to this time perhaps erroneouslyl as en-
tirely inocuous. If any of the respond
ent's cars have been spoken of by evil
disposed persons as jim crow cars the
respondent is not aware of it, but prays, if
the fact is shown to exist, that the commits
sion, if its large powers extend to such a
case, afford appropriate and adequate relief
to the respondent
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE.
The answer further AYERS that the cars
provided for colored passengers are equally
as safe, comfortable, clean and well ven
tilated and cared for as those provided for
whites. The difference, it says, if any, re-
lates to matters @sthetical only and consist
in higher ornamentation, and matters of
that sort, rather than in those which affect
the substantial conditions of safety, comfort
and convenience. The paper is signed by
Joseph b. Cummings, general counsel of the
Georgia Railroad Company.
